<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fishsoup, post: 1290923, member: 33916&quot;]There are plenty of reasons, but whether they are any good is up to taste. Grading only some sets as full sets (not just the 2 special coins) is one, assuming there are buyers who want assurance they get a non-cherrypicked set is another. Apmex says they only buy sealed mint boxes. Or maybe just keeping all options open is worth the 1% of the sale price that goes to extra shipping costs.</p><p><br /></p><p>Or, maybe it just happens. I signed up for quick checkout a few days early, logged in to the mint website 8.45 am here in west coast, refreshed a few times, and boom! The game is on! The goal is to get only one set for now! And then... the confirmation mail arrives at 9.06 am. How is that for a anti-climax. I had expected to be playing much longer. Made a cup of coffee, browsed the forums a bit, and thought: Well, maybe one more set for my 2011 firstborn...&nbsp; And so on.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
